I get to Rashid's house in no time, I leave my key for Brandon, the head of security to park my car in the garage and take my luggage into my room which I occupy here. I phone my unknown caller that i was ready for the trip and I was bringing company which he said he had no problem with. He informed me that a chauffeur will come for us and take us to the airport tomorrow afternoon.
I enter the house and go straight to the kitchen and take out a bottle of water which I gulp quickly. I throw the empty bottle in the trash can and then Rashid comes up with his dad.
"Oh you're back" Rashid says sitting on one of the kitchen stools.
"Yeah, just a few minutes ago" the sun was about setting.
"Okay"
"I moved out" I say bluntly looking at no one in particular.
"From your house?"
"Yeah"
"That's great, you got a new place? "
"Nope not yet, I was wondering if I could stay here Izzy? Like until we graduate " I sigh, running my fingers into my hair.
"Of course, you can even decide to stay after you guys graduate, you're like family, son" he pats my shoulders, "You're always welcome"
"Thanks man" i sigh.
"Anytime " he says and excuses himself to make a call.
"Finally, it's about time you moved out from that hell hole of a house" Rashid says as soon as his dad leaves.
"Yeah" I walk out of the kitchen into the large hallway, "I need some sleep"
"Sure bro, I'll see you later, I think i could also use some rest" he replies following me to my room.
"Before you sleep, I want to ask you something " he mutters quickly before shutting the door, close.
"Ok-a-yy" I say sitting on the edge of the bed and he does same.
"When the issue of why you're moving out comes up, what are you going to say?" He asks catching me off guard, I least expected it.
"I don't know, I haven't thought through it" I reply truthfully, running my hand over my head.
"That's bad" he pats my back lightly.
"Well, i could say Martina's been drinking and smoking too much"
"Yeah, yeah everyone knows that" he agrees ,"you could also say she's bad influence "
"Yes exactly " I sigh. Right now my mind is clouded making it difficult for men to think through things properly. Why does my house have to be complicated?
"Catch some rest man" he says and makes it for the door, "later"
When he's gone, I take a quick warm shower which helps to relax my body before changing into a navy blue pyjamas trousers and ducking into bed.

"Ready?" Rashid asks opening my door wider.
"In a bit" I say tying the laces to my sneakers, "Okay,done" I say when I finish
"Hurry up and let's go, we need to get back early I'm starving "
"Me too" I agree
We didn't have supper last night. In fact we both didn't wake up again until this morning for our run. We both leave my room and make it for the road where we begin our run to the seashore this time round. We do our usual routine and head back to the house. When we get to the house, they are having breakfast surprisingly.
